The world's top rated heavyweight boxer, champion
Wladimir Klitschko, was peacefully having lunch in Hollywood,
Florida, a neighboring city of Miami, when fellow fighter, Shannon
"The Cannon" Briggs interrupted his meal. Briggs, who is from Texas,
has repeatedly demanded a fight against Klitschko, but he is not
inline for a bout with the Ukrainian athlete.
Briggs trash talked and got in Klitscho's face.
However, the tipping point came when Briggs started eating
Klitscho's food (they didn't have a two for one menu or something
LOL). This caused the champ to pour a glass of water over Briggs'
head to cool him off. Briggs became angry and started thrashing
around. He later went to the hospital to treat a cut on his leg from
broken glass.

Last night, in a follow up interview with local news
in Miami, Briggs stated with a smile that he wants to be the next
American heavyweight champion. However, two of the top prospects in
America, undefeated boxers, Deontay Wilder and Bryant Jennings, seek
to get there first.
The American public want to see a fight between
Wilder and Jennings, but negotiations broke down. Both boxers would
have to put their 0 on the line, in what would be a great fight, but
a career changer for one of them. Wilder has more experience and
wins under his belt, all by knockouts. Wilder smashes everything he
touches, evidenced by his eye-opening knockout reel. Previously,
Wilder sparred with Klitschko, which must have been a valuable
learning experience.
